Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 14, 1916.

Application filed December 4, 1915. Serial No. 65,116.

which the following is a specification, ref

erence being had to the accompanying drawings. i

This invention relates to certainimprovements in heaters and hasrelation more particularly to a device of this general characterespecially designed for use for the whipping of eggs or cream and itisan object of the invention toprovide a device of this generalcharacter having novel and improved means whereby it may be applied intooperative position with convenience and facility and whereby it may beoperated with a maximum of efficiency.

Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to provide a beater ofthis general character having novel and improved means wherein arotatable sleeve isemployed and mounted forrotary movement upon a rod,said rod and sleeve being provided with coacting means whereby therequisite rotation may be imparted to the sleeve.

The invention consists in the details of construction and in thecombination and arrangement of the several parts of my improved beaterwhereby certain important advantages are attained and the device isrendered simpler, less expensive and otherwise more convenient andadvantageous for use, all as will be hereinafter more fully set fortlThe novel features of the invention will be carefully defined in theappended claim.

In order that my invention may be the better understood, I will nowproceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanyingdrawings, wherein Figure 1 is a view partly in section and partly inelevation illustrating a beater constructed in accordance with anembodimentof my invention and in applied position; Fig. 2 is a view inelevation detached ofthe operating disk'herein embodied; Fig. 3'is aView in top plan detached of the sleeve or tubular member as hereinembodied; and Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line44 of Fig. 1.

As disclosed in the accompanying drawings, C denotes a containerpreferably of the Well known type of Mason jar and with which the top Tis adapted to be detachably engaged in a conventional manner. At itsaxial center the top T is provided with an opening 1 through which isdisposed the tubular member or sleeve 2 of predetermined dimensions, theupper end portion of said sleeve or tubular member being enlarged toafford the annular shoulder 3 adapted to engage the upper or outersurface of the top '1. The upper or outer end portion of the sleeve ortubular member 2 has formed therein the teeth 4 for a purpose to behereinafter more particularly referred to.

5 denotes a rod adapted to be disposed through thetubular member orsleeve 2 and to extend beyond the opposite ends thereof, the lower endof said rod preferably contacting with the'base of the container C atits axial, center and the upper end of said rod is enlarged transverselytoafiord the shoulder 6 adapted to engage the upper or outer end of thetubular member or sleeve 2 in order to maintain the rod 5 and thetubular member or sleeve 2 inassembled relation. It is alsopreferredthat the enlarged portion 16 of the rod 5 be'angular-in cross sectionand one of the faces of said enlarged portion 16 is provided with a stubshaft 7 on which is rotatably mounted the disk 8 having its inner faceprovided with a circular series of teeth 9 adapted to engage the teeth 4of the tubular member or sleeve 2 whereby it will be perceived that uponaxial rotation being imparted to the disk 8, the sleeve or tubularmember 2 will be caused to rotate in unison therewith. While any meansmay be employed for imparting axial rotation to the disk 8, I prefer toemploy, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, the hand grasp 10of ordinary construction. I also find it of advantage to provide thesleeve 2 at a predetermined point below or inwardly of the top T withthe annular flange 11 preferably of leather which serves to limit theupward movement of the sleeve or tubular member 2 relatively to the topT or container C. I also find it of advantage to have detachably engagedwith the lower extremity of the rod 5, the button or member 12 alsopreferably of leather whereby it will be perceivedthat relativeindependent endwise movement of the tubular member or sleeve 2 and therod 5 is prevented but whereby said rod 5 and sleeve or tubular member 2may be separated when desired, upon removal of the button or 2principles and spirit reason y do not -WlSil to be understood aslimiting myself to-the land 1 formation of the several parts hereinshown: in carrying out my invention: in practice. a

sleeve or tubular member 2 are the circular series of blades 14 arrangedin predetermined spaced relation longitudinally sleeve With the bladesof one series alternately arranged relative to the blades of asecond'series and, as'here'in embodied, each of the blades is ofsubstantially 1.L-shape form With the stem thereof suitably anchored asat 15Ito the sleeve or tubular member 2 With thestemof the:blade-extending radially from the tubular :member or sleeve 2. It .willbereadily understood that upon rotation of the sleeve. or tubular member2, the blades 14 will serve 1 to effectively Whip the eggs or creamdeposited v Within the container C.

.From the foregoing description, it is thought to be obvious that abeater constructed in accordance with my invention is of an extremelysimple-and: comparatively inexpensive nature A and is particularly :Well

adapted for use. by'reason'of the'eonvenience .1 and facility vvithwhich it: may be assembled,

and'it-Will also be obvious that: in-y invention Y is susceptiblev of:some: change and' modification Without material :departure' from thethereof "and for this precise arrangement Copies of this patentmay-,be-sobtainegl for-nvecents each, by addressing the Commissioner of.Patents,

In combination With a container and its a sleeve disposed through thetop and vided with an annular shoulder engageable with the outer face ofthe top to limit the passage of the sleeve through the top, an

annular flange ;carr1ed by the sleeve inwardly of the top engageablewith the under face of the top for limiting the movement ofthe-sleeve-in an opposite direction, a rod disposed :through the sleeve,the outer end portion of the rod being enlarged and affording a shoulderooacting with the outer end of the sleeve,
